I think there's a concept that crime fiction is or was male-dominated, but it really never has been.

Quotes by Megan Abbott

Atheism is aristocratic; the idea of a great Being that watches over oppressed innocence and punishes triumphant crime is altogether popular.

Quotes by Maximilien Robespierre

Crime butchers innocence to secure a throne, and innocence struggles with all its might against the attempts of crime.

Quotes by Maximilien Robespierre

The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual crime.

Quotes by Max Stirner

We won't sit idly by when a crime is committed in the real world. So why should we when it happens in cyber space?

Quotes by Maurice Chevalier

If you are going to break a Law of Art, make the crime interesting.

Quotes by Mason Cooley

First of all, I'm in favor of making price gouging a crime, and in fact, one the reasons I didn't vote for the Republican House version was because there were too many breaks for the oil companies.

Quotes by Marty Meehan

Maybe... there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for unlawfully detaining 120 people. Maybe they just got carried away with last year's idea of pre-emptive strikes and thought, 'Let's not wait for an actual crime to occur. Let's get the innocent.

Quotes by Mark Thomas

I didn't break into comics to write fairytales or crime comics.

Quotes by Mark Millar

Quotes by Mark Billingham

Crime is the biggest genre in libraries and in bookshops, and it is hugely varied.

Quotes by Mark Billingham

The fact is that most crime novels contain a good many punchlines. They are just rather darker than the ones you might hear in a comedy club.

Quotes by Mark Billingham

Having worked as both comedian and crime writer, the one thing I know is that both involve the delivery of a performance.

Quotes by Mark Billingham

Quotes by Marisa Tomei

If you take out the killings, Washington actually has a very very low crime rate.

Quotes by Marion Barry

I'm not at all upset to be considered a crime novelist. But for me, it's never really about the crime or the violence. I'm much more interested in exploring issues.

Quotes by Marcus Sakey

Poverty is the mother of crime.

Marcus Aurelius

I'd always wanted to write crime fiction. I loved Nancy Drew.

Quotes by Marcia Clark

I have been addicted to crime since I was born. I was making up crime stories when I was a 4- or 5-year-old kid.

Quotes by Marcia Clark

What's interesting is, say, the O.J. trial and when the verdict came out, and there were people who celebrated, and there were people who thought that he's guilty, and it's a crime. Those reactions tend to be filtered through our own experiences.

Quotes by Malcolm-Jamal Warner

Crime against the individual is the equivalent of crime against humanity.

Quotes by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

Stress is the reason for crime and all other kinds of frustration. To relieve it will eliminate everything else.

Quotes by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

I want to eliminate the basis of problems and basis of crime, and basis of terrorism.

Quotes by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

What is the motive to the secret ballot? This, and only this: Like other confederates in crime, those who use it are not friends, but enemies; and they are afraid to be known, and to have their individual doings known, even to each other.

Quotes by Lysander Spooner

I'm actually a huge fan, I guess you could say, obsessed, with True Crime and the supernatural.

Quotes by Lydia Hearst

Crime is actually less in places where people own guns. Washington, D.C., is a case in point. It has the strictest gun laws, but who has the highest crime rate in the country? Washington, D.C.

Quotes by Luke Scott

He who does not prevent a crime when he can, encourages it.

Quotes by Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Quotes by Louis Stokes

There is one instance that we cite in the report where in one of the conversations a member of organized crime is talking to another member of organized crime and he suggests that Attorney General Kennedy should be murdered.

Quotes by Louis Stokes

You can, I think, have a quiet and steady protagonist and not run the risk of terminal dullness as long as exciting things happen to them and around them, and crime is the ideal genre for making this come about.

Quotes by Liz Williams

'In Cold Blood' is not a thriller at all, really. It is, however, the first work of its kind: a true crime book that reads like fiction.

Quotes by Lisa Unger

I'm always accused of being a crime novelist, but I'm not really.

Quotes by Lisa Lutz

I liked the idea of exposing the beams in collaborative novel. And there are many - especially in the crime world - there are many people working together: James Patterson and his stable of sub authors; and then there are like Ken Bruen and Reed Farrel Coleman and Jason Starr.

Quotes by Lisa Lutz

I'm unique for a suspense author in that I don't have a specialty background. A lot of suspense writers used to be lawyers or crime beat reporters. I didn't even know a cop when I started out. I finally figured out that I could visit prisons - I just had to be willing to make the phone calls.

Quotes by Lisa Gardner

When I was in my early 20s, my dream was to write mystery novels. I wanted to do what my favourite crime writer, Ross Macdonald, did - crank out a book a year. The only problem - and it was a considerable one - was that I stank.

Quotes by Linwood Barclay

Where is the expectation of privacy in the commission of a crime?

Quotes by Linda Tripp

I'm the hardest working person I know. I'm 20 years old - is it a crime to want to go out dancing with my friends?

Quotes by Li Bingbing

Putting cops on streets is the most effective way to combat crime.

Quotes by Letitia James

I particular enjoy the crime writer, Walter Ellis Mosley. He does a series of Chandler-esque detective stories.

Quotes by Lennie James

British crime stories tend to be very internal, psychological, claustrophobic, very limited in terms of geography.

Quotes by Lee Child

Donald Trump called for the closing of borders to Muslims; John McCain said, in response to the President's address on the San Bernardino shooting, that 'this is the war of our time.' As that shooting shows, we react to terrorism with far more intensity than we do to an ordinary crime.

Quotes by Lawrence M. Krauss

I think I'm part of a generation of crime writers all of whom woke up independently and recoiled with horror at the fact that we'd chosen this very conservative genre.

Quotes by Laura Lippman

For me, crime fiction was an opportunity to sneak up on readers with social issues, something they won't go out of their way to seek.

Quotes by Laura Lippman

My only crime is breathing and existing.

Quotes by Laura Loomer

It's now a crime to be a conservative in America.

Quotes by Laura Loomer

Quotes by Lane Garrison

The worst crime is faking it.

Quotes by Kirstjen Nielsen

The rumors of Frank Sinatra's violence and his ties to organized crime were such that journalists joked in print about me ending up in concrete boots and sleeping with the fishes if I proceeded to write his biography.

Quotes by Kitty Kelley

If conservatives are so concerned about black-on-black crime, it is concerning the only time I hear them talking about it is when they want to stick it to the black community.

Quotes by Kirsten Powers

Crime prevention has to become a first priority.

Quotes by Kiran Bedi

Friendships are this fun team. You get to have partners in crime.

Quotes by Kiernan Shipka

It's actually a smarter crime because imagine if you rob a bank, or you're dealing drugs. If you get caught you're going to spend a lot of time in custody. But with hacking, it's much easier to commit the crime and the risk of punishment is slim to none.

Quotes by Kevin Mitnick

My argument is not that I shouldn't have been punished, but that the punishment didn't fit the crime.

Quotes by Kevin Mitnick

Unauthorized access to computer systems is already a serious crime in a few states and is currently being addressed in many more state legislatures as well as Congress.

Quotes by Ken Thompson

Psephology isn't a hate crime.

Quotes by Ken Livingstone

Quotes by Ken Bruen

We haven't had crime writers, and for a long time in the Republic, we didn't seem to have a crime problem as such.

Quotes by Ken Bruen

Quotes by Ken Bruen

I had a dream, when I was little, to become a police officer and a crime investigator.

Quotes by Katia Winter

One of the surprising things I hadn't expected when I decided to write crime fiction is how much you are expected to be out in front of the public. Some writers aren't comfortable with that. I don't have a problem with that.

Quotes by Kathy Reichs

I'm not an investigative journalist; I don't track crime or police blotters.

Quotes by Kathryn Harrison

Quotes by Jonathan Nolan

'Crime Story' was where I learned that I needed to get to know every crew member: what they did and what their names were and who their families were and whatever things they would give me.

Quotes by Jon Polito

With no other security forces on hand, U.S. military was left to confront, almost alone, an Iraqi insurgency and a crime rate that grew worse throughout the year, waged in part by soldiers of the disbanded army and in part by criminals who were released from prison.

Quotes by John Sentamu

Under current law, there is no additional penalty for someone who enters the United States illegally and then commits either a crime of violence or a drug trafficking offense. They simply come under the same penalty as we have in current law.

Quotes by John Shadegg

They don't have a lot of crime in the countryside other than theft. But every once in a while, things turn ugly, and when they turn ugly, they turn very ugly.

Quotes by John Sandford

When I was reporting crime... I never had the sense of clockwork conspiracies or some kind of imposing order of evil. What I sensed was things just sort of falling apart.

Quotes by John Sandford

That's my sense of how crime works: that it's not any kind of calculated evil driven by the devil, but just control disintegrating.

Quotes by John Sandford

I tell people the first time I decided to write a novel I was in my mid-20s, and it was, 'Well, it's time to see if I can do this.' I basically flipped a coin to see if I was going to write science fiction or if I was going to do a crime novel. The coin toss went to science fiction.
